Here’s something we can’t wait for on “Kevin Can Wait.”

Leah Remini — who’s recently been in the news for her A&E docu-series about Scientology — will be reuniting with former TV husband Kevin James in the CBS series two-part season finale.

The Hollywood Reporter shared Friday that Remini, who played Carrie Heffernan to James’ Doug Heffernan on “The King of Queens” from 1998 through 2007, will play a cop and James’ former colleague. The two will go undercover as husband and wife when he briefly comes out of retirement. 

Hopefully the chemistry between the two will still be there, but if this 2014 reunion is any indication, fans have nothing to worry about.

Fans who want to see the pair together again can tune in May 1 and May 8 at 8 p.m. ET. James quipped about the reunion on Twitter. 

The comedian announced Thursday that “Kevin Can Wait” would be returning for a second season. Who knows if Remini will return next time around, too?
